Artist Profile: Anka Dabrowska

Artist Profile: Anka Dabrowska

Anka Dabrowska’s work is rooted in cities, architecture
and urbanism, the Warsaw environment in which she grew up. Working on
large-scale projects, she creates surprisingly minute installations from a
mixture of cardboard, wood, plastic and concrete, toy town installations which
require the visitor to kneel down and peer more closely. Walls, towers and kiosks – a ubiquitous
presence on the streets of her youth – and across them all, words scrawled in
graffiti, sprayed on in lurid pinks and greens.
